Is Aortic Stenosis a Preventable Disease? Kwan-Leung Chan, MD, FRCPC, FACC Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular disease requiring valve replacement. Its prevalence increases with age. When the severity of AS is only mild to moderate, it is well tolerated.
Overview. Aortic valve stenosis — or aortic stenosis — occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. The valve doesn't open fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from your heart into the main artery to your body (aorta) and to the rest of your body. Your treatment depends on the severity of your condition.
This complication of strep throat can cause aortic stenosis, a type of valve disease. If you have heart valve disease due to rheumatic fever, it's called rheumatic heart disease. If not, it's called nonrheumatic heart disease.
ICD-10 code I35. 0 for Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
I35. 0 - Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis. ICD-10-CM.
: not relating to, affected with, or being rheumatoid arthritis.
The most common cause of aortic stenosis is the accumulation of calcium deposits on the aortic valve, which increases with age. This causes the aortic valve to stiffen and narrow over time.
Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis I35. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I35. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.

You may have been surprised when your doctor said you have mild aortic stenosis (AS), a defect that can narrow the aortic valve opening and restrict blood flow out of the heart to the aorta. However, in people with mild AS, symptoms are usually minor and may be dismissed as normal signs of aging.
Key points. Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that can affect many connective tissues, especially in the heart. Untreated or under-treated strep infections put a person at increased risk.
What is valvular heart disease? Valvular heart disease is when any valve in the heart has damage or is diseased. There are several causes of valve disease. The normal heart has four chambers (right and left atria, and right and left ventricles) and four valves (Figure 1).
Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disorder caused by a Group A strep throat infection. It affects the connective tissue of the body, causing temporary, painful arthritis and other symptoms. In some cases rheumatic fever causes long-term damage to the heart and its valves. This is called rheumatic heart disease.
Mitral valve disease is a problem with the valve located between the left heart chambers (left atrium and left ventricle). Mitral valve disease includes: Mitral valve regurgitation. The mitral valve flaps (leaflets) may not close tightly, causing blood to leak backward.
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the narrowing of the exit of the left ventricle of the heart such that problems result . It may occur at the aortic valve as well as above and below this level. It typically gets worse over time. Symptoms often come on gradually with a decreased ability to exercise often occurring first.
Thickening of the valve without narrowing is known as aortic sclerosis. In the center an aortic valve with severe stenosis due to rheumatic heart disease. The valve is surrounded by the aorta. The pulmonary trunk is at the lower right. The right coronary artery, cut lengthwise, is at the lower left.
